Acrylic on paper mounted on canvas; Signed and dated by artist // Karel Appel’s Walking Alone (1969) is a dynamic acrylic painting that embodies his characteristic abstract expressionist style. The piece features bold, thick black outlines defining a stylized human figure in vibrant hues of blue, red, green, and purple. The figure appears in motion, with exaggerated limbs and a surreal face, creating a sense of both playfulness and emotional depth. Appel’s use of color and form conveys a raw energy, typical of the CoBrA movement with which he was associated. The painting, signed and dated by Appel, reflects his unique approach to abstraction, where the emotional intensity of the subject is expressed through bold, childlike forms and strong colors.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
